Free Republic

The House of Representatives voted to kill a resolution to censure progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib, R-Mich., on Wednesday night. Nearly two dozen Republicans voted along with all House Democrats to table the resolution in a final vote of 222 to 186 in favor of killing the motion without debate. Democrats briefly broke out into applause when the resolution failed.

Republican Rep. Ken Buck (CO) broke from his GOP colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee and thanked FBI Director Christopher Wray for his service on Wednesday, then spoke with CNN and claimed Wray is “doing his very best.” House Republicans on the Judiciary Committee grilled Wray at a Wednesday hearing over issues related to alleged civil liberties violations by the government. For example, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) pressed Wray for answers on the agency’s involvement with investigations into Hunter Biden. However, Buck used his allotted time to praise Wray and the FBI. Buck recognized that Wray was appointed assistant attorney...

@JulieNBCNews GOP CO Rep Ken Buck tells @mitchellreports he will not seek re-election to Congress.

t’s not worth calling any of these sellout Republicans.They don’t give a damn about you, believe me. Don’t call their office. Don’t contact them. Don’t protest. Just organized, get a solid primary opponent, and fire them by making them lose their primary by 40 points like Liz Cheney. 8:46 PM · Oct 20, 2023 · 852.4K Views

Podcaster Dan Bongino blasted House members Friday for not producing a speaker after 17 days. "PICK A SPEAKER ALREADY YOU CHILDISH NITWITS!" Bongino wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has failed in three elections for speaker as of Friday. The previous two elections happened back to back on Thursday. Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted when eight Republicans voted to oust him along with the rest of the Democratic members. "McCarthy, of all people, was just on the floor nominating Jordan, which makes these whining crybaby wussbags in Congress look even...

The Republicans opposing Rep. Jim Jordan's bid for speaker made themselves known on the House floor in the first roll call vote Tuesday to elect a new speaker of the House, and with 20 voting against him, he failed to secure a majority in the first round. When the vote finished, this was the final tally: Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries, of New York, had 212 votes, those of every Democrat, Jordan had 200 GOP votes, six Republicans voted for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, seven voted for House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three voted for former Rep. Lee Zeldin,...

On Monday afternoon, Navy veteran and agriculture business owner Trent Leisy announced his candidacy for Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District against Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) amid Buck’s refusal to vote for House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) for speaker of the House. Leisy, a self-described “die-hard supporter” of President Donald Trump, announced his candidacy in a post on X (formerly Twitter) and has garnered over 250,000 views.

They are Matt Gaetz (FL) Nancy Mace (SC) Andy Biggs (AZ) Matt Rosendale (MT) Eli Crane (AZ) Ken Buck (CO) Tim Burchett (TN) Bob Good (VA)

Republicans "itching" to impeach President Biden are "relying on an imagined history," Rep. Ken Buck wrote in an op-ed criticizing his own party and the hard-line House Freedom Caucus, of which he is a member. "Trump's impeachment in 2019 was a disgrace to the Constitution and a disservice to Americans. The GOP's reprise in 2023 is no better," the Colorado Republican wrote in the op-ed published Friday in The Washington Post.

@dbongino Ken Buck is a disgrace.

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), the chief GOP opponent of opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, has changed his mind, stating on Tuesday it is a “good idea” to launch an inquiry into the president. Buck told NBC News the inquiry is a good idea because it removes a “distraction” and permits the House to focus on the next spending fight. He also noted that “nothing changes,” as House Republicans were already investigating the Biden family. When asked how he explained changing his mind to support the inquiry, Buck told NBC News he asked to review the powerful allegations...

U.S. Representative Ken Buck’s big wet sloppy kiss to Attorney General Merrick Garland last week could not have come at worse time for the Colorado Republican. Judge Timothy J. Kelly of the federal court in Washington, D.C. was in the process of ordering prison time typically applied to murderers, drug traffickers, and serial child pornographers for five members of the Proud Boys convicted of no serious crime related to January 6. A well-known gun storage company faced backlash for assisting the FBI in yet another armed raid against a January 6 trespasser. And a young man from Utah took his...

Republican Rep. Ken Buck (CO) broke from his GOP colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee and thanked FBI Director Christopher Wray for his service on Wednesday, then spoke with CNN and claimed Wray is “doing his very best.” House Republicans on the Judiciary Committee grilled Wray at a Wednesday hearing over issues related to alleged civil liberties violations by the government. For example, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) pressed Wray for answers on the agency’s involvement with investigations into Hunter Biden. Gaetz bluntly asked Wray, “Are you protecting the Bidens?” to which Wray responded, “Absolutely not.” However, Buck used his allotted...

Republicans in the U.S. Senate and House have filed legislation to ban federal employee retirement money from being invested in funds requiring compliance with ESG and DEI policies. The Stop TSP ESG Act was filed in the Senate by U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Eric Schmitt, R-Missouri. A coalition of Republicans in the House led by Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colorado, filed a companion bill on May 17. If the bills were to pass, it’s unlikely the president would sign them as his administration is advancing ESG and DEI policies, including a Department of Labor rule change over which 25...

Conservative Colorado Republican Ken Buck (R-CO) told NBC News’s Chuck Todd on Friday he is opposed to removing members from committees based on political retaliation. “Do you think? You know, this is something that should be done? And do you think the tit for tat is healthy?” Todd asked on Meet the Press NOW. “I don’t. I think that Nancy Pelosi ruined this institution. I think she ruined it in a lot of different ways. And one of the ways was kicking members off of committees, which hadn’t been done in the past,” replied Buck. “Certainly, their own party has...

Election integrity was the clear winner of the Colorado Republican Party’s Assembly and Convention this weekend, while Kristi Burton Brown’s establishment had their delusions of “normal” shattered in spectacular fashion. The State event was held Friday at the Hilton Doubletree and Saturday at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs and, based on this year’s local caucuses and assemblies I expected to see drama. I wasn’t disappointed. Friday began early with delegates arriving prior to 7am to obtain credentials and vote for their preferred candidates in the Congressional District assemblies. Lauren Boebert swept CD3, which was not surprising given that...

Politicians from both parties, as well as the punditocracy in Colorado, are shaking their heads over the stunning and never-expected outcome Friday of the Republican assembly (convention) in the Centennial State's 4th District. With 183 votes (62%) to 114 (38%) for four-term Rep. Kenneth Buck, R-Colo., political newcomer and Elbert County real estate broker Bob Lewis secured the top line of the Republican primary June 28. Buck's incumbency notwithstanding, his near-demise at the assembly was particularly surprising because he is known as a stalwart conservative from both his voting record in Congress (lifetime American Conservative Union rating: 98%) and his...

Moscow and Beijing have been keeping each other abreast of their plans in the leadup to the Ukraine attack, according to two lawmakers. “I think they have coordinated and I think that China is in a better position letting Russia go first, to evaluate,” Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) told EpochTV’s “China Insider” program at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Feb. 25. By watching the world’s reaction on Ukraine, China is trying to gauge its next steps on Taiwan, the self-ruled island that the Chinese Communist Party claims as its own territory and long planned to bring under its...

Attorney General Merrick Garland let Hunter Biden off the hook in a Senate hearing Thursday by not committing to appointing a special counsel to investigate and prosecute President Joe Biden’s son for corrupt business dealings. When Garland was asked by Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) if he will “appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden,” the attorney general responded he would take Buck’s request “under advisement” but not consideration.

Republican lawmakers totally represented today at the House Judiciary Committee hearing! House GOP members showed up, were prepared, organized, focused on separate issues and COMPLETELY DESTROYED the corrupt Attorney General of the United States. The GOP lawmakers blasted Attorney General Merrick Garland and the criminal actions of the current regime. Garland, who was unimpressive and a terrible witness, dim and clumsy, had no answers to their many questions on the dire state of the Department of In-Justice and this corrupt regime. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) put Garland in a Half Nelson and grilled the AG on the alleged “uptick” in...
